@@salimd7842real Egyptians where look like Europeans, but with dark skin. Modern days Egyptian has nothing to do with ancient ones, except henocide of the culture and people.
@@LukeLovesRose oh, you mean the corporate decision to shoe-horn in the Hugh Jackman cash cow for no reason and recycling the one scene from the past that was good for the third time? Cool.
Determination and Loyalty at its finest. The humans outside knew that the others inside would die trying to kill Apocalypse, so they created a failsafe to crush him to death. The humans inside knew they will die against the others yet they go to die, knowing the failsafe would be ready. The mutates of Apocalypse didn't see the threat yet laid down their own life to see their master live throughout the ages to be ready for his return when it was his time. This was one of the best moments of the movie.
I feel that most movies have a spark of brilliance in at least one scene, and this is definitely it for X-men. The soul behind each side is what makes it so great, and it's always impressive when you can see both sides with respect in a scene; the horsemen might be supporting a crazed dictator and clearly earned the humans' betrayal, but it's hard not to respect devotion that's strong enough to be willing to die for another.
The scene is so wild because basically the Egyptians were the protagonists who put in crazy amounts of planning and sacrifice to finally be rid of their mutant overlords, this was so impressive like Batman level planning
Yup, they took care of one of the most powerful mutant in mankind that even x-men barely defeated with all their powers. And these people have no powers and primitive technology lol!
Who would protect him, in the modern world, with the same zealotry these showed? Very few people would, even fewer are mutants and of these mutants, even fewer has some significat abilities, which are actually combat useful. But yeah, BirdPerson was not his best choice i will give you that. But rest of them were like Alpha to Omega level mutants, so they were at least as powerful as his old Horsemen.... But as i said, while not totally eradicated, extreme religious zealotry like this(or even what we experienced even 2-3 hundreds years ago) is, thankfully, becoming the very unpleasant past. At least in civilized countries.
@Hanith "...At least in civilized countries." That's the part you got it wrong. Religious extremism can be seen anywhere from the US to the deep corners of Europe.
I will not presume to know what your definition of "civilized countries" entails. However, I would definitely like to point out that the time period and the specific geopolitical region presented in this scene, not to mention the level of ingenuity on display, generally qualify as one of the most advanced ancient civilizations. Zealots, political or religious , are found everywhere, across time and cultures.

Whoever designed the pyramid with that weak spot was a master of Dark Side, Palpatine level. To be able to cover your thoughts and feelings and of course, the flaw itself from the most powerful mutants, one must be a true superhero.
Seeing how all these mutants never even hesitate to lay down their lives for this guy. He must have loved and gave them so much that he is in all of their hearts. That's solid loyalty right there. even though he was a Tyranic bad guy but its still awesome.
He may have been a tyrant, but he was in all likelihood the one who saved the horsemen... I suspect that mutants were even more hated back then (or outright worshiped in Apocalypse's case) and so any mutant found was probably either killed before he became a threat or reqruited by Apocalypse

The opening and final scenes of this movie are one of the best in the entire franchise. So good. The rest of the movie sucked. It should have easily been a two part movie. Apocalypse deserved a two part movie. HE is the beginning of mutants created by the Celestials. I truly hope they do him right in the MCU and show is origin.
@@Uouttooo Powerwise Magneto was a good choice, he was actually stronger than any of the four ancient Horsemen, given his ability to shape the planet itself.

Her power was very weak though. Invisible Woman can create force fields and quickly expand them.

@@kingol4801powers like Telepathy, telekinesis and making forcefields are nerfed in movies EXACTLY because everyone knows they're OP as fuck. They're pieces of fiction that are supposed to work for the plot, not making the plot revolve around them
I think we saw Big A building this pyramid in the Days of Future Past post credit scene. Since I doubt he would have made such an easily activated self destruct system in the structure holding the most important bit of tech he has, this cabal that betrayed him must of secretly excavated and rigged it this way. Something that likely would have taken decades. The fact they were able to do that secretly, and that all the central chamber guards and entrance guards were in on the assassination plot, speaks to a large conspiracy that persisted for a long while, which also indicates that Apocalypse wasn't the greatest of rulers. To go against beings with such awesome power, means living under them was worse than this certain death.
Nah, all the conspirators only met the night before, had 1 hour of serious discussion and 2 hours of heavy drinking, went home to have one last sex and then spent the rest of their time digging and preparing.
I agree. But maybe it empty space was needed for ritual( i don`t know what is in comics and what this ritual needed). I`m will glad if someone who know exactly explain this.
@@BryceLeft Maybe they had their own mutant friends that hated Apocalypse too. That's probably the best explanation for a feat of engineering I doubt we could achieve here in the modern world. Come to think of it, I'll bet earth-bending mutants is how they built All the pyramids in this universe.
@@P5YCKONOMIXXX I think you just didn't understand the movie or you just didnt want... maybe because you just didnt like the actors or you just wanted to see these movies fail and go back to Marvel. As an unbiased person, a person who loves filmmaking and superheroes movies, I loved Apocalypse
@@LukeLovesRosei understand the movie was trash. He did better as moon knight. Marvel wouldve atleast tried to make him look more like apocalypse. Maybe u dont understand the character apocalypse and u jus appreciate any trash thts given. U probably think the deadpool in the wolverine movie was better then the one we have now. Lol but opinions are opinions.
I really like the designs of his original Four Horsemen. I wish they'd made it through instead of just drafting a bunch of pre existing characters in as horsemen instead. Honestly I always felt like Apocalypse should have been a two part movie. He IS the Thanos level villain of the X Men Franchise afterall..
Lol, it is hilarious for me to see this movie. The very first guy in the video (the Egyptian guy) was in the same class as me in high-school. Crazy to see he made it into a Hollywood movie.
Liar 😂. As an Egyptian though this scene is one of the most accurate in terms of how it depicts how Egyptians look, used to dress like and the type of architecture. It’s really easy to do yet so rare somehow.
Supervillains need faithful henchmen like these. They made the story impactful, even emotional. Modern henchmen are just so full of themselves and will usually turn against their masters. Make evil great again i suppose.
that's a good point. I think the impulse is to portray villains as weak and 'vicious' in the sense that they are full of vice and not virtues (like self sacrifice or bravery or cleverness etc). So impulse-driven villains/henchmen makes sense because we want to criticise those traits. HOWEVER: in real life, peopel who are good at things are still capable of using their virtues for evil. So maybe... we should consider that angle.
modern henchmen are super individualistic, it makes sense in an era of capitalism and neoliberalism, unfortunately. Gotta say those old and totally devoted henchmen are great, wish we could see more of those.
If modern henchmen are not super individualistic then the boss will sacrifice them instead. That's what you would see in TV. I guess you can see it in the workplace as well, where there's no more the same loyalty company - worker as before.
His horsemen here were so much cooler and badass than the rest of the movie. Sucks when movies make the intro the most interesting part by showing something from the past that would have been a better movie then what they made.
The dudes who stayed in there to fight are more gangsta than anyone alive. They probably volunteered too Like yeah we gonna overthrow the gods today "Whole squad" bet We attack at dawn
Well it's a sacrifice they endure the rule of the four horseman It's going to be worse if the leader is revive so they have to do what's needed to be done so that mankind will not perish
People talking about these and that. But those Humans back there were so intelligent to execute planning on this level. I mean they literally 99% succeeded. 99%
correct me if i'm wrong: but i've noticed a symbolism in the riders and the gods they represented: the one with the seth mask proyected waves that destroyed the flesh the one with the anubis mask was telepath/telequinetic the one with the sekhmet mask was the super strong the one with the horus mask was the pyrokinetic one... and apocalipsis, had the one of ra, the supreme god...
For many wondering like why they protected him to their last breaths. These 4 horsemen are Apocalyse children by blood. This is why. They are way stronger than Xavier mutants . They are Apocalypse family so expect such determination. The wife of apocalyse is Genesis. She is similar looking like that girl who invokes fire hydras
Especially when you consider that he literally made them god like. Look how weak storm was before he boosted her. It's more like they felt that they owed him everything good they had instead of pure loyalty in my opinion.
Look at Capitol hill rioters, Trump cultists, they're ready to die for Trump. It's just like that. You can also compare it to vampires who are ready to die to protect their king Dracula.
@@Tomy-im8zl It's crazy, considering how Jim Jones and Charles Manson is able to convince a whole group to murder and commmit suicide. But I noticed how all of these have in common, all those leaders made their followers feel like family and they needed to contribute to the cause.
@@AllenHanPR yeah well about the suicide not all of them wanted to go through though. Sadly, it's been documented that some of them were forced... but yeah in a sense they made them felt like family, even soldiers of a just cause that they all are part of.
They weren't decapitating, exploding heads, string cheesing bodies or slicing bitches in halves, just saying. This was no more brutal than MoM, the sound design is superior that's it.
This was such an amazing scene. I especially loved how much it showed the egyptians put into the pyramid's structure. The slabs descent to gain enough momentum to bash through the bottom supports, etc. Loved it.
How awesome would it have been if we got an entire movie of Apocalypse and his rise to power, culminating in his golden age in Ancient Egypt? They could have ended it with this scene of betrayal, and it would be a perfect setup for his transition into present day for the next movie. While I’m dreaming, I’d also like a Great Leonopteryx and my own personal food truck.
The weird-ass structure of the pyramid aside (think about it, it doesn't make sense), this was an absolutely amazing scene. Even almighty mutants can be bested by sheer determination from a few humans.
I could never understand how he went from that amazing team in Ancient Egypt who lay their lives for him to a bunch of teens who couldn’t even take an ass kicking. SMH!
Imagine yourself? You wake up, and suddenly the world you knew is completely gone. In 60 years, people went from building first aircraft/plane to flying to space. That is one lifespan. The dude got awoken from 1000+ lifespans worth of sleep. Even with powers to speed up understanding, that is A LOT of catching up to do. And he, instead of spending years to adapt to the new world and come up with a reasonable plan… did whatever. Probably, so culture-shocked and confused, he longed for familiarity…. So, he naturally assumed that picking up low-lives with power (what worked for him in that century) would work in the current. It does not. Typical example of cognitive anchor bias. So, yes, teens with super powers, OPTIMIZED to fight threats of modernity, were more skilled to fight at their own home turf. Progress is a scary thing. It is a massive advantage.
Lol Right! And some mutants who aren't even loyal at that. He should've waited, observed and gotten mutants who would've all stayed loyal to him till the end, and more experienced mutants who could really acually do something big with their powers at that, like Storm, Jean and Magneto's powers for instance.
@@user-to7up1dl3d é que o apocalipse não estava mais no tempo em que a religiosidade comandava a vida das pessoas, em que o capital, o individualismo não existia praticamente, tudo era voltado ao místico, as divindades e etc. No mundo moderno, o coisa era diferente, a religião não mandava no cotidiano das pessoas como era antigamente, o individualismo e capitalismo era mais a base e o capital também. Para o apocalipse conseguir cavaleiros como aqueles, ele teria que pegar alguém com poderes pertencentes à um grupo extremista religioso.😅
Why don't people know why the horsemen were so loyal to Apocalypse? Did you understand his advocacies? It's basically the song "Imagine" by John Leno. If I were a mutant, I would definitely join his cause. Lol
I need to see the prequel to this. I miss SL. Where Apocalypse gathers, engages, and conspires these awesome mutants to this awesome beginning and their ending.
well.. They were likely only loyal because of his power. Out of fear or jealously and tagged along for the benefits and avoiding death from him. Like the Sith in Star wars, that ask a jedi to join them on the dark side.
This wasnt a terrible film. It had very good scenes and moments. This one was a banging way to begin any film. No dialogue really, just music and visual build up. And action! The other one with Magneto in the process of enacting his justified revenge only for Apocalypse to turn up and do it for him was great. The one with him taking control of every nuclear missile in the world and sending them off into orbit was very unexpected. Abd highlights just what Xavier could do if he was bad. The problems appear when the film makers tried to put so much emphasis on Jennifer Lawrence (Mistique). An XMen film about Apocalypse should have focussed on him mainly. Some Professor X/Magneto love/hate is expected also which is fine. But Apocalypse is a one mutant army. Look at the 90s animated series "Beyond good and evil" 4 part episode. That did Apocalypse serious justice.

The fact they were able to do that secretly, and that all the central chamber guards and entrance guards were in on the assassination plot, speaks to a large conspiracy that persisted for a long while, which also indicates that Apocalypse wasn't the greatest of rulers. To go against beings with such awesome power, means living under them was worse than this certain death.
Or it is a similar yet different pyramid. 😅
All villains gloat about power/ruling but probably suck at it. Apocalypse was no different.
Well said
He just improvidently hired Galen Erso to build the pyramid.
Nah, all the conspirators only met the night before, had 1 hour of serious discussion and 2 hours of heavy drinking, went home to have one last sex and then spent the rest of their time digging and preparing.
That pyramid has more design flaws than the Death Star. "Hey, let's make the ritual chamber above a 2 hundred foot drop." "Brilliant!"
200? Like 15,000 foot drop. Christ.
I agree. But maybe it empty space was needed for ritual( i don`t know what is in comics and what this ritual needed). I`m will glad if someone who know exactly explain this.
@@MrCinnamonboy FR. The drop was about as deep as the runway from that fast and furious 6 was long.
It's on purpose. The whole pyramid was a trap. The real mystery is how on earth did they even dig that drop
@@BryceLeft Maybe they had their own mutant friends that hated Apocalypse too. That's probably the best explanation for a feat of engineering I doubt we could achieve here in the modern world.
Come to think of it, I'll bet earth-bending mutants is how they built All the pyramids in this universe.
It’s sad as this opening got me in the feels & was excited for the rest BUT we got what we go 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏽♂️
What?? What the heck is so bad about the rest of this movie?? Please tell me. I loved the movie enough to buy it on Blu-ray as soon as it came out
I only clicked to see the chick but it was good scene
@@LukeLovesRose movie is terrible if ur an original xmen or apocalypse fan. He did awful at portraying apocalypse.
@@P5YCKONOMIXXX I think you just didn't understand the movie or you just didnt want... maybe because you just didnt like the actors or you just wanted to see these movies fail and go back to Marvel. As an unbiased person, a person who loves filmmaking and superheroes movies, I loved Apocalypse
@@LukeLovesRosei understand the movie was trash. He did better as moon knight. Marvel wouldve atleast tried to make him look more like apocalypse.
Maybe u dont understand the character apocalypse and u jus appreciate any trash thts given. U probably think the deadpool in the wolverine movie was better then the one we have now. Lol but opinions are opinions.
I really like the designs of his original Four Horsemen. I wish they'd made it through instead of just drafting a bunch of pre existing characters in as horsemen instead.
Honestly I always felt like Apocalypse should have been a two part movie. He IS the Thanos level villain of the X Men Franchise afterall..
No.
It kinda makes sense.
Power-level wise, once you go again Phoenix or Magneto, you should realistically become Jill Sandwitch
Lol, it is hilarious for me to see this movie. The very first guy in the video (the Egyptian guy) was in the same class as me in high-school. Crazy to see he made it into a Hollywood movie.
Aren’t they all Egyptian ☠️ except for the telekinesis girl
Really awesome scene. I asked my Egyptian friend and he said this was spot on what happened.
Liar 😂. As an Egyptian though this scene is one of the most accurate in terms of how it depicts how Egyptians look, used to dress like and the type of architecture. It’s really easy to do yet so rare somehow.
@@perra5910
Egyptian were black...
Supervillains need faithful henchmen like these. They made the story impactful, even emotional.
Modern henchmen are just so full of themselves and will usually turn against their masters.
Make evil great again i suppose.
MEGA Movie Movement: Make Evil Great Again lol
that's a good point. I think the impulse is to portray villains as weak and 'vicious' in the sense that they are full of vice and not virtues (like self sacrifice or bravery or cleverness etc). So impulse-driven villains/henchmen makes sense because we want to criticise those traits. HOWEVER: in real life, peopel who are good at things are still capable of using their virtues for evil. So maybe... we should consider that angle.
modern henchmen are super individualistic, it makes sense in an era of capitalism and neoliberalism, unfortunately. Gotta say those old and totally devoted henchmen are great, wish we could see more of those.
If modern henchmen are not super individualistic then the boss will sacrifice them instead. That's what you would see in TV.
I guess you can see it in the workplace as well, where there's no more the same loyalty company - worker as before.
Ya got henchmen and ya got goons. Those guys were henchmen.
His horsemen here were so much cooler and badass than the rest of the movie. Sucks when movies make the intro the most interesting part by showing something from the past that would have been a better movie then what they made.
Ancient mutants are so terrifying
Exactly like otherworldly
They were worshipped as gods for a reason.
Fun Fact: Jesus and Moses both exist in the Marvel Universe and are classified as Omega level mutants
That's some seriously loyal horseman.
Till the end..
How loyal and devoted of her
This was an amazing scene! People dont give the xmen movies enough credit imo.
I agree
It was the only good part of movie
@@720allout this is you opinion
it's the majority opinion and that's why it's the one that matters. If the rest of the movie had this kind of momentum it would have been great
Yeah. No single scene in the MCU feels this confident or exciting
That sorceress was the best. Great power. She single handled things on her own after the plan went south.😮
The dudes who stayed in there to fight are more gangsta than anyone alive.
They probably volunteered too
Like yeah we gonna overthrow the gods today
"Whole squad" bet
We attack at dawn
I respect the humans who stayed in there ready to die
Well it's a sacrifice they endure the rule of the four horseman
It's going to be worse if the leader is revive so they have to do what's needed to be done so that mankind will not perish
If they didnt do what they did, who knows how powerful Apocalypse would have become by the 20th century
@@Spookssga Humanity would've probably died before the 20th century
People talking about these and that. But those Humans back there were so intelligent to execute planning on this level. I mean they literally 99% succeeded. 99%
correct me if i'm wrong: but i've noticed a symbolism in the riders and the gods they represented:
the one with the seth mask proyected waves that destroyed the flesh
the one with the anubis mask was telepath/telequinetic
the one with the sekhmet mask was the super strong
the one with the horus mask was the pyrokinetic one...
and apocalipsis, had the one of ra, the supreme god...
...what is the symbolism between Sekhmet and strength, or Anubis and telekinesis? Or Horus, the sky king and pyrokinesis?
@@willchurch8376 Sekhmet the Warrior, and Anubis the tender of souls. Horus was the Lord of *Sun* and Sky.
These 4 horseman were indeed powerful especially the last one
😂😂 his horsemen went from this to 2 betrayas, 1 didnt care and a bird😂😂 speaking of speeding the recruitment procedure😂😂
For many wondering like why they protected him to their last breaths. These 4 horsemen are Apocalyse children by blood. This is why. They are way stronger than Xavier mutants . They are Apocalypse family so expect such determination. The wife of apocalyse is Genesis. She is similar looking like that girl who invokes fire hydras
Am I the only one who love Death on the first Horsemen? SHESH! The way she squeezes that guy is so satisfying!!
I use to think loyalty like that is far fetched, Then you look at Charles Manson at what he could convince a whole group to do.
Especially when you consider that he literally made them god like. Look how weak storm was before he boosted her. It's more like they felt that they owed him everything good they had instead of pure loyalty in my opinion.
Look at Capitol hill rioters, Trump cultists, they're ready to die for Trump. It's just like that. You can also compare it to vampires who are ready to die to protect their king Dracula.
@@Tomy-im8zl It's crazy, considering how Jim Jones and Charles Manson is able to convince a whole group to murder and commmit suicide. But I noticed how all of these have in common, all those leaders made their followers feel like family and they needed to contribute to the cause.
@@AllenHanPR yeah well about the suicide not all of them wanted to go through though. Sadly, it's been documented that some of them were forced... but yeah in a sense they made them felt like family, even soldiers of a just cause that they all are part of.
Never underestimate fanatics or how far they are willing to go
This is the kind of level violence I hoped to see in multiverse of madness from wanda
These mutants are absolutely BRUTAL
They weren't decapitating, exploding heads, string cheesing bodies or slicing bitches in halves, just saying. This was no more brutal than MoM, the sound design is superior that's it.
No blood and guts or blood, just instant death. Gore is brutal, not the attack preceding it.
@@murk4552Naah. This is way brutal. MoM was super PG.
2:30 Apocalypse would've won in the end if he had found the same kind of LOYALTY he found in this one soilder
This was such an amazing scene. I especially loved how much it showed the egyptians put into the pyramid's structure. The slabs descent to gain enough momentum to bash through the bottom supports, etc. Loved it.
How awesome would it have been if we got an entire movie of Apocalypse and his rise to power, culminating in his golden age in Ancient Egypt?
They could have ended it with this scene of betrayal, and it would be a perfect setup for his transition into present day for the next movie.
While I’m dreaming, I’d also like a Great Leonopteryx and my own personal food truck.
byt the directors would try to humanize him, that's the problem,heroes winning is sign of trying brainwash the audience
We should all be so lucky so have that kind of loyalty. Gaht damn.
The only thing this movie made me realize is that I REALLY want a Dark Sun movie.
This scene is the closest thing we'll ever get to a depiction of Athas, just replace mutants with psionics and (deeply hated, life-draining) magic!
Ah yes, screaming, the basic techniques of a sneak attack
LOL fr
He’s lucky that she was so devoted to him😊
Of all the pyramid assassination scenes this is the best by far.
i like the dedication of soldiers for apocalypse they gave their lifes for him .Man that some Loyalty
When you think about it the pyramid basically has the same weakness as the Death Star
You sir .. win 🥇 the internet today 👏🏽
That woman his assistant should receive a medal for being so devoted to him. I hope that he appreciated it😊
i really like the first set of the housemen they look so cool.
Probably the best scene x men ever created and will create
that's true loyalty my dudes
At 1:21, if you had just shut up and done the work, you could have succeeded.
Egyptians fr planned out a Death-Star level weakness that not even their mutant overlords could find, quite ingenious
The weird-ass structure of the pyramid aside (think about it, it doesn't make sense), this was an absolutely amazing scene. Even almighty mutants can be bested by sheer determination from a few humans.
I think it's intentional flaw from the human side for their grand assasination plan for a decades..
A few hundred with decades of planning and conspiracy
Ну они не всемогущие. У каждого есть некоторые не ограниченные для простого человека возможности, но они бесконечно далеки от всемогущества.
This scene lone is way better and more entertaining than the rest of the movie.
I could never understand how he went from that amazing team in Ancient Egypt who lay their lives for him to a bunch of teens who couldn’t even take an ass kicking. SMH!
Imagine yourself?
You wake up, and suddenly the world you knew is completely gone.
In 60 years, people went from building first aircraft/plane to flying to space. That is one lifespan.
The dude got awoken from 1000+ lifespans worth of sleep.
Even with powers to speed up understanding, that is A LOT of catching up to do.
And he, instead of spending years to adapt to the new world and come up with a reasonable plan… did whatever.
Probably, so culture-shocked and confused, he longed for familiarity….
So, he naturally assumed that picking up low-lives with power (what worked for him in that century) would work in the current. It does not.
Typical example of cognitive anchor bias.
So, yes, teens with super powers, OPTIMIZED to fight threats of modernity, were more skilled to fight at their own home turf.
Progress is a scary thing. It is a massive advantage.
Lol Right! And some mutants who aren't even loyal at that.
He should've waited, observed and gotten mutants who would've all stayed loyal to him till the end, and more experienced mutants who could really acually do something big with their powers at that, like Storm, Jean and Magneto's powers for instance.
@@user-to7up1dl3d é que o apocalipse não estava mais no tempo em que a religiosidade comandava a vida das pessoas, em que o capital, o individualismo não existia praticamente, tudo era voltado ao místico, as divindades e etc.
No mundo moderno, o coisa era diferente, a religião não mandava no cotidiano das pessoas como era antigamente, o individualismo e capitalismo era mais a base e o capital também.
Para o apocalipse conseguir cavaleiros como aqueles, ele teria que pegar alguém com poderes pertencentes à um grupo extremista religioso.😅
The best opening in a movie
Why don't people know why the horsemen were so loyal to Apocalypse? Did you understand his advocacies? It's basically the song "Imagine" by John Leno. If I were a mutant, I would definitely join his cause. Lol
This movie is in that "Resident Evil" category of films with baller openers that are significantly better than the rest of the movie.
The best mutant is the architect 😂😂😂
From the Thumbnail, oh look, the USS Discovery still stuck halfway in the past. :P
How so ❓
@@sourabhkarmakar8040 Star Trek TNG the animated series did not exist previously.
I need to see the prequel to this. I miss SL.
Where Apocalypse gathers, engages, and conspires these awesome mutants to this awesome beginning and their ending.
0:01 The fingers on this dude... good lord. The ladies will be will pleased!
True loyalty! Devotion and sacrifice! Dont get that from anyone these days. He had some great followers.
That rock slides like a sledge ,amazing😂😂😂
Ironic that a telekinetic was the one who saved Apocalypse, and the one who ended him was also a telekinetic.
Yeah so ironic that Magneto can control that iron 😊
@@sourabhkarmakar8040Magnito has magnokinesis, Jean is a telepath, not a telekinetic, but she has some telekinetic attributes
@@Hitoshishinsoscvmsock you didn't get the joke
@@sourabhkarmakar8040 Oh I got it, I was just clearing the mists 💀
@@Hitoshishinsoscvmsock who do you think you are Storm 😏⁉️
The ancient Egyptian humans were the true heroes. They stopped a mutant tyrant from taking over the world after achieving his immortality.
I want some mutant loyal friends like apocalypse had...I envy him in a way ....yet he still was betrayed again at the end 😔.
well.. They were likely only loyal because of his power. Out of fear or jealously and tagged along for the benefits and avoiding death from him. Like the Sith in Star wars, that ask a jedi to join them on the dark side.
@@croissantlover1 that doenst seem true, at his most vulnarable moment they protected him with their lifes especialy the woman
If you want these kind of people around you, you must be like this first.
@@zabban yes because they would lose their powers if he died.
@@croissantlover1 oh i thout they were mutants and he just powered them up
Great movie. ❤ I love X-men movies.
That’s the definition of laying their life on the line for you!. I wish he was able to bring them back to life and put them up against the X-Men!
The ancient version of 4 horsemen have awesome powers.
in the post-credits scene when he is first shown to us, we see him building the pyramid himself. Apparently he built the traps himself)
It's not the same pyramid
These ancient Egyptians had such an excellent plan
Respect to the soldiers who locked themselves in with the mutant
Imagine being so loyal to someone… knowing you will die… and yet you do everything to save them
Genuinely the best scene of the movie
I’ll never understand how anyone could see this and not dig tf out of it.
This wasnt a terrible film. It had very good scenes and moments. This one was a banging way to begin any film. No dialogue really, just music and visual build up. And action!
The other one with Magneto in the process of enacting his justified revenge only for Apocalypse to turn up and do it for him was great.
The one with him taking control of every nuclear missile in the world and sending them off into orbit was very unexpected. Abd highlights just what Xavier could do if he was bad.
The problems appear when the film makers tried to put so much emphasis on Jennifer Lawrence (Mistique). An XMen film about Apocalypse should have focussed on him mainly. Some Professor X/Magneto love/hate is expected also which is fine. But Apocalypse is a one mutant army.
Look at the 90s animated series "Beyond good and evil" 4 part episode.
That did Apocalypse serious justice.
That woman is badass 😎
This movie deserves more love
